RimWorld, the highly successful sci-fi colony sim game, has announced a horror-themed expansion DLC called Anomaly. This expansion will introduce monstrous, mysterious, and maddening threats, containment facilities for capturing and studying dark entities, and a brand new reality-twisting endgame. Ludeon Studios, the developers, have stated that Anomaly might be released in a month, though a selected date has not been revealed. This is probably going because Anomaly’s release will coincide with the update 1.5 for the bottom game. This update is currently undergoing testing on the unstable branch on Steam.
On this expansion, your colonists have by accident provoked a mad superintelligence. Anomaly is inspired by Cabin within the Woods, The Thing, The Cthulhu mythos, Hellraiser, and more. Besides fighting monsters, the expansion introduces ominous, puzzling, mind-controlling, and earth-shaking threats, allowing players to craft their very own personal horror story. To combat these nightmares, Anomaly will introduce latest tools and kit, starting from flamethrowers to hellcat rifles and insanity-inducing weapons to crossbows that stun targets. Players may even have the chance to construct a grand containment facility to capture, study, and even exploit monsters.
